im sure you'll be happy with the puma, i never really knew they existed! just like the old shape vauxhall tigra, hyped up and was a complete flop.
anyways every car has its faults at the end of the day, im just so glad mine isn't going to have rust/paint fading in a few years time

The Volkswagen Polo GTI, is a nice looking car.....it is probably the best looking VW that I have seen in a long time.
But I feel that the car was 'poorly' planned and it was also 'rushed' into production, my argument is based on the following points : -

VW Polo GTI interiors seem to be â€˜randomlyâ€™ put together, e.g. you can get the same coloured car on the same registration plate, but with completely different coloured seatbelts and door cards.

The Gearboxâ€™s can not handle the extra BHP, from the GTI engine, so they fail at an alarming rate.

The car needs a 6th gear, because when a GTI is driven at over 80 mph the engine noise becomes deafening.

The BBS alloy wheels corrode.

Clutches also fail at an extremely high rate on this vehicle.

The cambelts on these vehicles also have the tendency to â€˜failâ€™ at low mileages.

Etc, Etc

OMG you're still here?

What's up mate they not wanting you over at the puma forum either?

The Gearbox failed.....on the same day that the car was purchased

I think to be fair... the guy that sold it to you obviously f**ked it up and found a mug stupid enough not to notice the fault and sold it. Just so happens you were that mug.

There is no need for profanity.........if you cannot conduct yourself in a civilised manner...then I suggest that you do not read my thread.
